2. How to Meet WCAG 2.0 [Quickref] - Scrolling behavior

summary | by responder | by choice

We received a comment that the quick animated scrolling is distracting/disturbing for some users.

A Survey showed support for an approach with a configuration option that allowed to chose between “Off (No Scrolling)”, “Slow” and “Fast (Default)”. However Brent mentioned that the “Slow” setting is not slow if you select success criteria that are far apart. I proposed in the meeting that we could not use the “Slow” mode for simplification.

Shadi then proposed to not give an option at all and default to ”Off” and not offer preferences as people won’t search for preferences around this.

I think we should keep the options so people can chose between Fast, Slow and Off scroll animations and figure out how to make the slow setting slow in reality..
I think we should keep the options, but simplify the choices, so people can chose between Fast and Off scroll animations. 7

 During the call James pointed out how the tool "Sublime" provides orientation. From the minutes:

- "James: A scroll bar is good, it's simple. There is a text editor Sublime that gives you a little compressed element that indicates an idea of where you are."

I think I've seen similar approaches in other software, to illustrate to the user where they are in a document. I think this is a good idea but I'm not sure how difficult this is, and think we should not spend too much effort on it. Maybe scroll bars is sufficient indication.

Otherwise I suggest just removing the scrolling. I doubt anyone will look for settings to adjust the scroll speed or to turn it off.

 I feel very strongly to keep the orientation that the scrolling animation provides. Many modern UIs don’t have scroll bars (iOS, MacOS, Windows 10(?)). Any other custom sitemap solution à la sublime text is very error-prone and would use quite some resources.

If we can’t agree on keeping the scrolling, I’m for removal, the most important thing is to get an update out that does not make people dizzy.

 Even better "on/off"
Andrew Arch
  • I think we should keep the options, but simplify the choices, so people can chose between Fast and Off scroll animations.
 but let's then call it scroll ON / scroll OFF for simplicity
